For the IP of "Yu-Gi-Oh", Gu Miao wants to operate it for a long time and make it prosperous......

For this reason, he could not be a scholar.

Konami's set is too "dry and fishing", focusing only on the present and ignoring the future.

A new system will come out in a year or two, and in the end, players don't know where to start learning if they want to enter the pit.

What does this lead to?

Fans or players, on the premise of not being able to get "newcomers" to replenish, will only get fewer and fewer, and finally die.

No kidding!

With Konami's operation strategy, how long the IP of "Yu-Gi-Oh" can survive depends entirely on how long the earliest batch of "ashes" will live.

If they're all gone, or they're old enough to toss around library rules all day, what's the follow-up to Yu-Gi-Oh? And newcomers?

Don't make a fuss!

A hundred years later, maybe there will still be old men and old ladies wearing VR headsets and sleeping in the hibernation warehouse to play "Holographic Fighting Landlord" and "Holographic Mahjong", but at that time there were still people playing "Holographic Game King"?

The bloated system is the number one problem of "Yu-Gi-Oh", and if this problem is not solved, over time, even if this game is popular now, it is destined to become niche and unpopular in the future.

To this end, Gu Miao decided to enable the "last elimination" mechanism.

What is last place elimination?

That is, according to big data analysis, those monster cards, magic cards and trap cards that are at the bottom of the appearance rate and usage rate, and even no one remembers, will be eliminated or even "remade" on a regular basis!

The new card can be slower.

But maintaining the game environment and ensuring a steady stream of new players to join is his ultimate goal.

Of course, this is not achieved overnight.

He only has this idea in the first place, as for how to do it in the future, how to change and maintain the game environment, he still needs to slowly experiment and explore.

Speaking of which......

The second season of Temeow's "Full-time Glory" has been released, and the third season of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation has not yet landed?

December 24th.

Just as Gu Miao was busy solving the damage caused by the rampant "Underworld" deck and the duel environment of "Yu-Gi-Oh", Penguin Animation released a warm-up promotional PV short for the second season of "Full Time Glory".

And Penguin also said that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will be able to see the second season of full-time glory animation broadcast.

"It's outrageous!"

Gu Miao did not doubt the truth of this news, but doubted the reliability of the second season of this animation.

Although they are also competitors, he must also admit that the animation "Full-time Glory" is a national comic work that he has seen in recent years, and the quality is definitely excellent.

can be such a top work, and the continuation is so fast and sloppy, which is too eager for quick success.

"You're not optimistic?"

"Yes!"

Gu Miao admitted frankly: "Unless they started working on the second season before the first season aired, there is no way to explain why the second season was broadcast so soon?" ”

This possibility is not ruled out.

But Gu Miao felt that this possibility was still too low.

After all, the first season has not been broadcast, who can be sure that the results and benefits must be good? Who would dare to start the simultaneous production of the sequel?

】

"That's true!"

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "But it can't be too absolute, what if people are very confident and the second season is really done in advance?" ”

"After all, we are doing this kind of thing ourselves, so isn't the second season of "Super Beast Armament" almost ready?"

Gu Miao was speechless.

It makes sense to say that Wan Bao did two seasons of animation in one go, or two parts, on the project "Super Beast Armament", before he began to think about broadcasting.

Anything is possible!

Maybe Penguin's attitude towards "Full-Time Glory" is the same as Wanbao's treatment of "Super Beast Armament", who can say for sure?

"That's right!"

"You just said that the second season of the animation "Super Beast Armament" is about to be completed? What's going on now? Gu Miao said curiously.

"What else could have happened?"

Lao Zhang wondered: "Literally, if you are about to finish, you are almost done." The animation samples have come out, didn't Huang Kun tell you? ”

Fack!

With such important news, Huang Kun actually hid it from him, aren't they good brothers wearing the same pants?

Gu Miao was very angry, and immediately prepared to go to the Dimension Studio to settle accounts with Huang Kun, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Lao Zhang's words.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry......

"I'm talking about almost finishing, but it's not really done, and there are still some finishing touches that are not finished!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.

"Although "Ultra Beast Arms" is not finished yet, Dave's team's "Cat and Mouse" is finished."

"What's that?!"

Gu Miao froze in place, almost suspecting that she had misheard.

"Cat and Mouse"?

Is this thing done? Really fake! When he met Dave in October, wasn't he still having a headache with Tom's coat color? How long has it been since the animation was done?

It's not that Gu Miao can't believe it, but what Lao Zhang said shocked him too much.

For the animation "Cat and Mouse", he was mentally prepared for two or three years or even longer, and he would not receive any reply.

As a result, now tell him that in just half a year, they will be done?

"Really!"

Lao Zhang smiled and nodded: "I use my personality to vouch, Dave is indeed done!" But ......"

"There's only one episode!"

After Lao Zhang finished the first half of his sentence, Gu Miao, who was about to call Dave, heard the words "only one episode", and his expression instantly petrified.

Only one episode?

Can this also be called the end?

You only have one episode of TV anime in your house, right? After doing an episode in half a year, you're quite proud, aren't you?

"Where's the film?"

Gu Miao, who felt a little toothache, sat back in the chair, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Let me see, Dave sharpens a sword in half a year, how sharp is this sword?" ”

"It's not a film!"

Lao Zhang first shook his head, and then explained: "There are only sample films, and Dave said that this version of the sample film still needs to be refined when it comes back, and it is not a finished film." ”

"Anything goes!"

Gu Miao said indifferently: "Treat him into a sample film, show me first." ”

At his request, Lao Zhang walked into the company's specially set up "darkroom" projection room, turned off all the lights, and broadcast a sample film to Mr. Gu that was only more than 8 minutes long.

Seeing the duration of this sample film, Gu Miao frowned at first, but she didn't rush to say anything, but concentrated on watching the feature film.

「puss gets the boot」

In the opening part, in addition to the Wanbao logo and the full English name of the North American branch, there is also the English signature of producer Dave Smith, as well as a string of title characters with unknown meanings.

"What does that mean?"

"The cat was fired? Pussy gets kicked in the ass? Gu Miao frowned and thought, "Why did you come up with such a title?" ”

It doesn't matter.

The title is just a transition, and soon Gu Miao forgot about this stubble and devoted herself to the world shown in the feature film.

In a dwelling......

The blue-gray, fluffy cat is using various means to tease and play tricks on a little mouse.

The rat tried desperately to escape, but it could not escape the cat's clutches.

Until in the process, the cat broke the flower pot ornaments at home, and was reprimanded and warned by the owner.

It's interesting here.

The owner's head did not appear, let alone show any expression, but he hit the cat a few times with a broom, and then pointed to the broken flower pot to the ground, and the cat nodded desperately and swallowed his saliva, while the mouse hid and laughed wildly.

There was not a single sound in the whole process.

In this scene, there is not a single line, and no subtitle prompts are added, but everyone can understand it and guess what the master means.

Very clever means!

The effect of such a performance is no different from the owner showing his face and threatening Tom, saying "If you break xx again, I will throw you out".

Or even better?

Gu Miao felt that Dave should have referred to his proposal and deleted all the lines that the master had originally spoken and threatened Tom.

Before he could think about whether it was good or bad, the story was further extended, and the mouse that caught the handle finally turned over.

I saw it holding a fragile red wine glass, standing at the table and ready to drop it, while the cat chasing it froze instantly, not daring to move......

The cat can't stand the arrogant mice, and in the process, the cat eventually makes a mistake and is kicked out by the owner.

Simple story.

It's even very short, only eight minutes.

But the level of painting and production reflected in these eight minutes, as well as the movements and demeanor of the cat and the mouse, all left a deep impression on Gu Miao.

Summed up in two words:

Absolutely!

The vivid expressions of cats and mice, as if they are "coming to life", are really amazing! There are also character movements, which are also more smooth and silky than he imagined.

Maybe it's a work of art, right?
